Directions

Place the butter, herbs, salt, and lemon zest in a bowl and mix together. Transfer to a piece of waxed or parchment paper and roll into a log or place in a small bowl and refrigerate until firm. Slice and serve with warm, cooked corn on the cob.

Note: Here are a couple rules of thumb for making flavored butters: Be careful not to add too much of one ingredient; flavors will intensify as the butter chills. Refrigerate for up to two days or freeze for a couple weeks.
